"I still think it would be better to have cavalry. If you want to open up the road from Algiers to Marrakech, you must have cavalry to participate in the patrol." Li Xiu looked at the map and took a visual measurement.

It is more than 1,500 kilometers from Marrakech to Algiers. This distance is equivalent to the distance from Beijing to Guangzhou.

"There are cavalry!

Russia promised to send four cavalry divisions to help us fight in North Africa." Li Xiao said with a smile.

"Brother, you rejected the Mongols because there were Russians?" Li Xiu said in surprise.

"Of course, Ming Dynasty has paid so much for Russia, they still need to agree to this small request.

And now these cavalry have received orders and started to assemble towards Sochi. We will take them to Algiers by ship, but we need to be responsible for the logistics supply of these four divisions.

But this is not difficult. In addition to potatoes, we can just transport more corn." Li Xiao smiled.

Unlike the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, Russian soldiers ate a lot of corn. The big reason for this is that the yield of corn is very high.

Moreover, chemical fertilizers began to be widely used in the north of the Ming Dynasty, which led to higher corn yields.

Similarly, corn is also the main source of feed for the Ming Dynasty.

Li Xiu smiled. The Ming Dynasty had 300,000 marines in Algiers. In addition to the four Russian cavalry divisions, there were 500,000 laborers.

It is not difficult to build a road to Marrakech quickly along the North African coast.

What's more, there are still five Indian divisions.

Li Xiu never considered the issue of war. Those chiefs in North Africa would only go against the Ming Dynasty if they were crazy.

There are so many troops here, and as long as they make any changes, not a single person in the entire tribe will be left alive.

From Algiers to Marrakech, it was actually the process of the Ming army fighting against nature.

The most important thing is that Ming Dynasty needs to provide logistical supplies for so many people.

This is more than a million people!

"I have transferred Stanet over and will use his segmented construction method. Two engineering divisions from Japan and Korea will build a railway between Algiers and Marrakesh.

In this way, we can transport more supplies quickly.

When you round the Cape of Good Hope and appear in Marrakech, you can take a good rest.

Then, you headed north along the Iberian Peninsula.

First capture Lisbon, and then use Lisbon as a base to continuously attack Britain.

It won't be long before the British surrender.

The British surrendered. I wonder how the garrison of Gibraltar can still hold on.

In addition, our Marine Corps cannot remain idle.

Since we can't enter the Strait of Gibraltar, let's attack the Iberian Peninsula.

I am prepared to surrender the Catalans, who have always been at odds with the Spanish government.

I will use them to fight the Spanish. Of course, I will agree to let the Catalans become independent. This is not a big deal!

Originally, I planned to divide Europe into as many pieces as possible." Li Xiao pointed at the Iberian Peninsula and talked.

The Catalans have Phoenician and Carthaginian ancestry, which is completely different from the Spanish ancestry.

For generations, Catalans have wanted to become independent from the Kingdom of Spain.

For this reason, the Catalans carried out many uprisings.

Unfortunately, each uprising was brutally suppressed by the Spaniards.

The independence of Catalonia has always been what Spaniards care about most.

Because once the Catalans become stronger, there will be blood feuds for so many years. They will definitely take revenge on the Spaniards!

Today, Spain, which has suffered badly in the Russian battlefield, cannot withstand such turmoil.

I have to say that Li Xiao's move was indeed a good one.

"Of course, I will ask Zheng Sen to talk to the Spanish first. If they understand, they will surrender to us. Let us use Spanish ports, roads, bridges, and garrison troops in Spain.

Maybe the Portuguese will surrender without you coming to attack Lisbon."

Li Xiao pointed at the map and said with a smile.

"It's very possible!

The Spaniards now have no ability to prevent Catalonia from becoming independent. With our support, Catalonia's independence will definitely succeed.

The Spanish have to do this! After occupying the Iberian Peninsula, we can besiege Gibraltar by land!

If we go around the Cape of Good Hope, we will cut off Gibraltar's maritime transportation insurance.

It won’t be long before everyone in Gibraltar is starving to death.”

"Haha! It's cheap to starve them to death." Li Xiao looked at Gibraltar with deep hatred.

A dying fish actually caused such great harm to Daming. If you don’t die, who will die?
